By treating with Sportnem-T Leatherjacket Killer within September to the end of October application window, direct damage from the grubs and indirect damage from predators hunting for them in the following spring and summer is avoided. </p> <p>There are two application windows in the pests life cycle suitable for applying a leatherjacket treatment. The first window is during the late summer/autumn, from <strong>mid-September until the end of October </strong>. <span> <span>Autumn applications will target the two main crane fly species in the UK. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>The secondary spring treatments of Sportnem-T will be most effective from <strong>May </strong>when newly hatched larvae of the common crane fly, <em>Tipula oleracea </em>, are present and soil temperatures are > <strong>12°C </strong>. </span> </p> <p>During the spring window the larvae of the European crane fly, <em>Tipula paludosa </em>, will have grown to a stage where effective control of any type is significantly reduced. As a result it is important to note that the required application rate is higher for the spring window compared to the late summer into autumn window. </p> <p>For best results apply Sportnem-T leatherjacket treatment to moist turf areas from <strong>mid-September until the end of October </strong> as this targets the pest early in its life cycle when it is more susceptible to control. </p> <p> The below infographic is designed to inform the user as to the life stage of the organism throughout the year. </p> <p> <br> </p> <p>After application, the nematodes actively search for their prey and penetrate them. The nematodes then feed on the contents of the prey, excreting specific bacteria from their digestive tracts as they do so. These bacteria convert the host tissue into products that the nematodes can easily ingest. The larvae die within a few days. </p> How to Apply Sportnem-T Leatherjacket Killer <p> Application Rates </p> <ul> <li>OPTIMAL CONTROL Window 1 - mid-September, October: 1 pack per 500 square metres. </li> <li>REDUCED CONTROL Window 2 - May: 1 pack per 250 square metres. </li> </ul> <p> NOTE: Sportnem-T can be applied when soil temperatures are >12°C but the nematode, <em>Steinernema carpocapsae </em>, will be more active when temperatures</p></div>
